the forecaster, southern edition, november 16, 2012

By David HarrySCARBOROUGH — It took

eight days and three sets of vote totals in Maine House District 127 to confirm that state Rep. Amy Volk, R-Scarborough, will return to the Legislature for a second, two-year term.

Volk was declared the winner in a recount Wednesday at the Department of Public Safety in Augusta, defeating Democratic challenger Paul Aranson 2,728 to 2,716. The recount expanded Volk’s unofficial victory margin of only five votes.

“I guess I am relieved it is over and I will be able to return to my job representing coastal Scarborough,” Volk said. “It certainly could have gone either

way.”Unofficial results released

Nov. 7 by Scarborough Town Clerk Yolande Justice first showed Volk the winner by 18 votes, 2,441 to 2,423.

“I feel great, it was a wonder-ful experience,” said Aranson, who requested the recount. “I’m a better person for it, and we will see what the future holds.”

The candidates saw opposing reasons for the narrow margin maintained by Volk. She said the race might have been closer because Democrats turned out to re-elect President Obama, and because Question 1 to approve same-sex marriage drew voters

By Will GraffCAPE ELIZABETH — The

Town Council approved a long-awaited ordinance govern-ing short-term home rentals Wednesday night, largely seen as a compromise between the interests of rental providers and residents who live near those properties.

The new ordinance, which was molded through more than 20 meetings over 14 months, is an effort to regulate nuisance rental properties in residential neighborhoods.

Although several residents

continued to express concerns about the ordinance, saying it is too restrictive, doesn’t fully address subleasing problems and lacks clarity on a “three-strikes” protocol for habitual offenders, the council majority agreed to move forward with the new rules.

“My view is to get this in place and see how it works,” Councilor David Sherman said. “If there’s a rash of business short-term rentals that show up, then we can take another look at it.”

Maine senators renew push for Kayatta appointmentBy David Harry

CAPE ELIZABETH — With the election over and the conclusion of the 112th Congress approaching, Maine Republican U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe are asking for a floor vote on the stalled judicial nomination of a Cape Eliza-beth lawyer.

William Kayatta, a civil litiga-tion specialist with Portland-based Pierce Atwood, was nominated to the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Ap-peals in Boston last January. His nomination was endorsed by the Senate Judiciary Committee in April.

In letters Wednesday to Majority

Leader Sen. Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Minority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., Collins and Snowe requested prompt confirma-tion votes for Kayatta.

Collins urged Senate leaders to vote on all judicial nominations enjoying bipartisan support before the current session concludes.

Snowe, in a prepared statement, said “the Senate should promptly confirm President Obama’s nomi-nation of Mr. William Kayatta of Maine for a seat on the First Circuit Court of Appeals before this session adjourns. Mr. Kayatta’s nomina-

Rancourt’s Scarborough council tenure coming to a closeBy David Harry

SCARBOROUGH — Town Councilor Carol Rancourt spent Wednesday after-noon explaining the details of Medicare plans at a workshop in Falmouth.

That’s one of her roles at the South-ern Maine Agency on Aging, and the intricate details far surpass the details she has mastered while serving in town government.

“I should tell everyone before they run, learn Medicare and nothing will ever

seem hard again,” she joked.This year, Rancourt, 63, did not run for

office for the first time in 18 years. She will leave the Town Council on Nov. 28 when Councilor-elect Ed Blaise is sworn into office for the next three years.

Rancourt, 63, is leaving because local terms limits prohibit candidates from seeking more than three consecutive terms of office. Before serving nine years on the council and as its chairman, she served three terms on the Board of

Education.“I was actually glad not to be running

in a campaign where there were so many signs everywhere,” she said about staying on the sidelines this fall as incumbent Councilor Jessica Holbrook and Blaise won three-year terms and Kate St. Clair won a two-year term opened by the res-ignation of Councilor Karen D’Andrea.

The Scarborough native (with the stipulation she was born in a hospital in Portland) said she was raised on the idea of serving as a way of giving back to her community.

“You have to have an interest in mak-ing a difference for your community, or whatever constituency that you serve. That’s how I see it, you have something to offer,” Rancourt said.

What Rancourt has offered over the years is a sense of community, an open

mind, attention to de-tail and a willingness to express herself, according to veteran School Board mem-ber Jackie Perry and Town Manager Tom Hall.

Perry was already on the School Board when Rancourt was first elected, and Hall replaced Town Manager Ron Owens four years ago.

“She’s a realist,” Perry said. “She brings the bottom line down to what do we really need in this town.”

Hall said he looked to Rancourt for help as he settled into his role in Scarborough, the third town he has man-aged.

“I sensed fairly early on that she has those unique cultural and historical per-spectives,” he said.

Rancourt served on the School Board and Town Council as the town grew from about 12,500 residents in 1990 to the 2010 U.S. Census count of almost 19,000. Perry recalled meeting her as she volunteered on committees working to renovate and expand local schools, and said Rancourt has always tried to balance demands of growth with the concerns of longtime residents.

The balance is not easy in a 55-square-mile town comprised of very distinct geographic areas, where elections for local offices are run town-wide without party affiliations.

“It is a challenge to balance every area

S.P. councilors support House appointment to School BoardBy David Harry

SOUTH PORTLAND — As she sum-marized her desire to serve on the School Board, Mary House told city councilors Tuesday she was in a qualified group of applicants.

“Based on what I have heard, you really can’t make a bad choice,” she said about the three men and three women hoping to fill the seat left open by the September resignation of Jeffrey Selser.

Five councilors attending the workshop agreed, but found House the best choice of all to fill the remaining year on the term. House was the unanimous nominee for the seat; she is expected to face a council vote Monday, Nov. 19.

Councilors Rosemarie De Angelis and Tom Blake did not attend the workshop, but Mayor Patti Smith said they will re-view the video before Monday’s meeting.

House, 41, is a resident of Elberberry Drive in District Four, but will serve in at-large seat if elected. She is a project manager and chemist at Portland-based Woodard & Curran.

In offering the perspective of a par-ent with two children in city schools, a scientist interested in improving school curriculum in the field, and a manager with business and budgetary experience, House presented a combination of char-acteristics welcomed by councilors.

The other applicants, including former School Board member and Chairman Ralph Baxter Jr., brought a breadth of experience and abilities that impressed councilors, too.

House

“Any one of you could be represent-ing the city on the School Board and doing a wonderful job,” said Councilor Al Livingston, who was a School Board member before being elected to the coun-cil in 2010.

Baxter, who lives on Simmons Road, said he had considered a run earlier this year after two years away from the board.

“I still have a passion for South Port-land schools. It never ends, it is always something new and it is always a chal-lenge,” he said.

Retired S.D. Warren research chemist Roger Allen, a Mitchell Road resident, vowed to make educating students his top priority while grounding them in knowledge of the real world.

“Give teachers a chance to teach and they can do a good job,” he said.

Sawyer Street resident Pam Koonz Canarie, a former teacher who is now a supply chain manager for Hannaford Bros. owner Delhaize America, agreed with House on the need to improve math and science learning.

“This community has amazing support for our music program,” Canarie said. “If we do that for our math and sciences, we will be golden.”

Morse Street resident Tiffanie L. Bent-ley, the director of student life at South-ern Maine Community College, said she wanted to serve because she has two children in city schools and can bring the perspective of what is needed for students to succeed in secondary education.

“I bring an unusual skill set to the table,” Bentley said.

Jeffrey McDonald of Providence Av-enue, a sales manager at Welch Signage in Scarborough, offered collaboration and and knowledge of purchasing.

“I work well in teams,” he said. “I’m not coming in here with an agenda.”

The applicants were asked six ques-tions compiled and selected by City Manager Jim Gailey. Councilors were unaware of which questions would be asked until the workshop began.

Questions included asking what skills applicants would bring to the board, what relevant experiences they have had, what the relationship should be between the School Board and City Council, where services and operations might be con-solidated, the biggest challenges facing

public education and how they might improve the School Department.

Before the workshop, applicant re-sumes and other material was distributed to councilors.

“I was ready to time-share this and give everyone two months each,” Councilor Tom Coward joked near the end of the nearly two-hour workshop.

House said her written materials likely played a role in getting the nomination, and that the combination of advocacy for STEM programs (comprised of sci-ence, technology, engineering and math curriculum) and her ability to work with leaner budgets might have been what won

Cape board appoints interim principal, OKs staff contractBy Will Graff

CAPE ELIZABETH — The School Board on Tuesday named recently hired Assistant Principal Douglas Perley the in-terim principal at Cape Elizabeth Middle School.

Perley on Nov. 26 will replace Prin-cipal Steven Connolly, who resigned to take the superintendent of schools posi-tion in Regional School Unit 60. Con-nolly’s last day at the middle school will be Tuesday, Nov. 20, the final day before

Thanksgiving break.The interim position, advertised soon

after Connolly submitted his resigna-tion, drew 20 applicants. Superintendent Meredith Nadeau said Perley was the strongest candidate.

The School Department plans to adver-tise for a permanent principal in January and will likely fill the position in March, Nadeau said.

The assistant principal position, after Perley takes the interim principal job, could remain unfilled until a new perma-nent principal is found, although no deci-sion was made by the board. Faculty will meet with Nadeau on Nov. 26 to decide how to proceed with the open position.

Perley was hired in the summer, along with two other administrators: Pond Cove Elementary School Principal Kelly Has-son and School Department Technology Director Erik Kramer.

Perley previously was assistant prin-cipal for three years at the kindergarten through eighth-grade Paul School in Wakefield, N.H. He was also principal at Easter Seals/Harbor Schools special edu-cation high school in Amesbury, Mass., and was assistant principal and athletic

director at the Middle School of the Ken-nebunks for about eight years.

He replaced former Assistant Principal John Casey, who worked in the position for more than a decade.

Perley has also worked as a social worker, and has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Bates College and a master’s degree in education from the University of Southern Maine.

Staff contractsIn other business, the board approved a

contract with the Cape Elizabeth Educa-tion Association bus drivers, custodians, food service and maintenance employees.

The new contract combines the bus drivers, custodians and maintenance staff with the food service employees. The board and the employees had been in discussions for months working out the details.

“It was a lengthy, but fruitful discus-sion to merge the two units,” board mem-ber Michael Moore said.

The original contract for both groups expired June 30. The salary for the first year will see a 2-percent increase, while the two following years’ salaries will in-crease in accordance with the Consumer Price Index and is not to exceed 3 percent nor drop below 0.5 percent.

The union approved the contract earlier this month. Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @W_C_Graff.

Unsung Hero: David Smith of Falmouth, born to serveBy David Treadwell

FALMOUTH — David Smith’s dedica-tion to service began, it could be said, at birth, when he was born with no right hand.

“Having a disability can make you more sensitive to what’s going on around you,” Smith said.

Other major factors came into play, too. Smith attended a Jesuit school in New York City, for example, and noted that, “the Jesuits pounded into you the concept of giving back.”

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania with a journalism degree, David went on to earn his law degree at Fordham University.

“A law school education is good for all kinds of things,” he said, “because it chal-lenges you and teaches you how to think.”

During his career, Smith successfully applied his legal and administrative skills to law firms and other organizations in New York City, where his last position before “retirement” was serving as associ-ate counsel for the Office of Professional Medical Conduct for the New York State Department of Health.

Even during his working years, Smith threw himself into community service. He served as chairman of the Community Ser-vice Society, a social welfare and advocacy organization with an annual budget of $13 million; as a trustee for Barrier Free Living, an agency devoted to providing transitional housing for people with disabilities, and as chairman of the Health Systems Agency of the City of New York, an agency dedicated

David Smith, at home in Falmouth, has “retired” to a life of volunteerism with several southern Maine nonprofits.

to health-care planning policy.When Smith retired in 2007 and moved

to Falmouth, he immediately sought out challenging and rewarding service ac-tivities. “When you’re first retired,” he said, “it’s like falling off a cliff with no office to go to.”

A week before Smith moved to Maine with his wife Ann, a fellow board member suggested he consider volunteering for the Community Counseling Center in Portland. He was quickly recruited to the board and currently serves as chairman of the orga-nization dedicated, he said, “to providing quality mental health care at the least cost possible.”

Mary Jane Krebs, chief executive officer of the center, said “David is fabulous. He has brought real professionalism and in-sights to the board. He has a great head, a great heart, and he’s always willing to help. I trust him implicitly.”

For some people, major responsibility on just one nonprofit board would suffice. But Smith is not “some people.”

He discovered that the Southern Maine Agency on Aging was seeking volunteers to help people who were about to retire navigate the various decisions associated with going on Medicare. He went through the necessary training and soon was asked

Mechanical energy

By William HallPORTLAND — A 153-year-old land-

mark is about to get a face-lift, but most people who pass by on Congress Street probably haven’t even noticed the wrinkles.

Mechanics Hall, home of the Maine Charitable Mechanic Association, is a four-story, granite building at the corner of Congress and Casco streets, across from the Maine College of Art. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the structure once served as City Hall after fire destroyed much of Portland in 1866.

Today, Mechanics Hall houses a couple retail tenants, art studios, the Mechanics’ 30,000-volume library – and lots of room for improvement. While intact from the outside, the historic building is filled with threadbare carpeting, peeling paint and drafty windows.

“It’s an undiscovered gem,” said Carolyn Outwin, who in April became the MCMA’s first woman president.

“People come here who say, ‘I’ve lived in Portland my whole life, and I didn’t even know you had a library.’”

The MCMA is a private, 300-member group founded in 1815 to educate Port-land’s tradesmen (in the language of the time, “mechanics”) as the nation struggled with an economic depression. Since then, the association has offered the library, a variety of classes, college scholarships and other resources to members, who join for a fee of $25.

In 1911, the group began hosting a series of travel-themed lectures by such historic figures as Arctic explorer and Maine resi-dent Robert Peary.

Carolyn Outwin of Cape Elizabeth, the Maine Charitable Mechanics Association’s first woman president, in the group’s 30,000-volume library.

William Hall / THe ForecasTer

Group has 1st woman president, plans renovation of Congress St. landmark

Mechanics Hall, at Congress and Casco streets in Portland, is a historic landmark that is

expected to be renovated.

“The lectures were wildly, wildly popu-lar,” Outwin said. In fact, the association began holding the talks off site after audi-ences outgrew the hall’s 450-seat ballroom.

Today, the lectures continue each month, but the ballroom – complete with 30-foot ceilings, gilt moldings and a choir loft – is nearly empty. Until June, the space had been used for storage.

The MCMA is hoping a major renova-tion program will restore the hall to much the way it appeared in 1859, when it was built in a neo-classical design by Portland architect Thomas Sparrow. Another famed local architect, MCMA member John Cal-vin Stevens, oversaw renovations in 1890.

The hall’s next renovation, guided by his-toric landmark rules, would be complete by 2015, in time for the group’s bicentennial anniversary, according to Outwin. The as-sociation has already consulted an architect, but it’s too early to say exactly what would be included in the project.

“We’re only beginning to decide what to do,” she said. “The renovation could be for $5,000, or it could be $500,000. ... We’re just dipping our toe to see what it’s going

to cost.”While it considers future plans, the as-

sociation has received offers to buy the 519 Congress St. building, and other groups have recently tried to lease it for their own operations, Outwin said.

“We’re not broke,” she said. “We’ve never rented the hall out to a third party to manage, and we’re not going to do it now. ... That’s not going to happen, as long as I have the gavel in my hand.”

Beside rejuvenating its building, the MCMA is also looking for ways to rejuve-nate its image.

That change may be symbolized by Out-win’s appointment as president of a largely male group that only began admitting women in 1990.

Outwin, 59, is a Cape Elizabeth resident and a former sales executive. She brings a business perspective to the MCMA’s goal of attracting a new generation of members.

“I’m not going to sugar-coat it,” she said.

“Like everybody else, we’re trying to get more people in, younger people. So we’re trying to think outside the box.”

Thinking outside the box means thinking of new ways to use the hall and its prime downtown location.

Outwin said that because it owns and op-erates the building, the MCMA is “nimble” and can provide a variety of services and functions.

She noted that the association’s library, one of the oldest private-membership collections in the nation, has hosted art exhibits as part of the city’s First Friday Art Walk.

In the future, the hall’s ballroom may be a venue for theater or musical performances, she added.

“We’re not tied to any one topic, any one type of entertainment,” she said. “What do you want? We can do it.”William Hall can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 106 or whall@

SOUTH PORTLAND — School Board member James Gilboy will serve another three-year term after winning re-election as a write-in candidate.

Gilboy, who represents the city's Dis-trict Four, did not submit nomination papers in September to get on the Nov. 7 ballot, but mounted a write-in cam-paign after there were no other declared candidates.

He received 74 votes, according to South Portland City Clerk Susan Mooney, and agreed to serve another term.

Internet search leads to S.P. arrest

SOUTH PORTLAND — Police ar-rested a fugitive from Colorado on Monday after a wary neighbor found an outstanding warrant against him listed on the Internet.

Randy Miller, 52, was arrested on a fugitive from justice charge at his Pine Street home around 7 :40 p.m., Lt. Frank Clark said.

Miller is named in several outstand-ing warrants in Colorado, including one for grand theft larceny in Idaho Springs, Colo., Clark said. The warrant stemmed from Miller's alleged theft of a car police found parked at the Pine Street home.

Clark said police were alerted to the warrant by someone who met Miller, had some suspicions about him, and conduct-ed a background search on the Internet.

Scarborough man indicted for attempted murder in PortlandBy David Harry

PORTLAND — A Scarborough man accused of a vicious beating in Portland in August made his first court appearance Tuesday after being indicted last Friday for attempted murder and other charges.

Eric M. Gwaro, 28, was indicted by a Cumberland County grand jury on one count each of Class A attempted murder, Class A elevated aggravated assault, and Class B aggravated assault stemming from the alleged Aug. 30 assault of a 25-year-old Portland woman.

An indictment is a finding that enough evidence exists for prosecution. It is not a finding of guilt.

Gwaro’s Tuesday appearance at the Cumberland County Unified Criminal Docket in Portland related to a Class E count of violating conditions of release. He was indicted on the charge last Friday in addition to the other charges, and had been free on $10,000 cash bail.

Court records detailing the state’s case against Gwaro were impounded before his court appearance Tuesday.

Gwaro

According to a news release from the Portland Police Department issued after Gwaro’s arrest, officers responding to a report of a man beating a woman discov-ered a 25-year-old Portland woman lying unconscious in Montgomery Street near the base of Munjoy Hill.

Police said witnesses identified Gwaro as her assailant. He was allegedly hiding in a nearby hedge and tried to flee before he was arrested in Peppermint Park on Cumberland Avenue.

The victim was taken to Maine Medi-

cal Center and treat-ed for face and skull fractures. Gwaro was initially charged with Class B aggravated assault.

Gwaro was also a call member of the Scarborough Fire De-partment. Scarborough Fire Chief Michael Thurlow said Gwaro is now on unpaid leave.

Beem ignores ‘nincompoops’ who toe the party line

As I read Edgar Allen Beem’s column of Nov. 7, I found myself both irritated and disappointed. While I was bothered by the “where is he going with this?” style ranting about early voting, my real problem with Mr. Beem’s piece is when he goes on to call “undecided” voters “ignorant” and “uninformed” for not having chosen between Obama and Rom-ney. How “ignorant or uninformed” is Mr. Beem that he doesn’t realize there were quite a few more choices than “Obama or Romney” to be made?

Mr. Beem makes a sound point, however, when he writes that “the differences between (Obama and Rom-ney) are not subtle.” In fact, besides their stances on a few talking-point issues, their differences are non-existent. Like Jim Lehrer, many of us found ourselves asking, “is there a difference between the two of you?” Is there any surprise that a number of people remained “undecided?” Mr. Beem gets one thing right: “the fate of this nation is now decided by nincompoops.” The “nincompoops” who we repeatedly send to Washington to fail to represent us, and the “nincompoops” like Mr. Beem who continue to proudly sound the battle cry of their chosen party as they charge over the cliff, dragging the entire country with them.

Frank misses the point about Citizens United

Most people have enough common sense to reject the ideas that corporations are people, and that money is speech, through deductive reasoning. Yet these concepts have been codified into law by our Supreme Court in the oligarchical “Citizens United” ruling. Halsey Frank’s recent column extolling the supposed logic of this ruling left out several vital considerations, one of which is that freedom of speech is but one of our rights. Another is free-dom of association, including freedom of disassociation.

It is obvious by now that the court’s contentions that this ruling would include disclosure, and that groups engaged in political advertising would not be allowed contact with candidates running for office, were naive. Justice Ken-nedy insisted that disclosure would be part and parcel of Citizens United. Enforcement is nonexistent; the corporate

perpetrators are hiding behind loopholes, and faceless lay-ers of cowardliness.

If my letter is printed, my name will be included, and verified, but billionaire corporate entities, that may be based in foreign countries that do not have our best

interests at heart, are allowed to hide their identities behind Citizens United. I want to be allowed my right to dis-sociate myself from any products or services sold, that enable corporations to pay for their free speech right to pro-pagandize. But I can’t find out who is

doing the propagandizing, specifically because of Citizens United, and that, Halsey Frank, is my case against it.

John A. DowFalmouth

Lawmakers must ignore party ideology

Now that the elections are over, it is my hope that our newly elected and re-elected state and federal rep-resentatives will waste no time in focusing on the issues of concern to older Mainers and their families. Issues such as financial and health security are of paramount importance to many of our older residents. The next Congress will be making decisions about the future of Social Security and Medicare. There are many options likely to be considered in 2013 that will have an effect on the long-term solvency of both of these programs. Now the work truly begins and I am looking forward to hearing how campaign promises will turn into meaning-ful action.

Here in Maine, the 126th Legislature will need to find ways to balance the state budget without cutting programs that are so important to some of our most at-risk residents. As we head into the coldest months of the year, the challenges for older Mainers will undoubtedly grow. We need to protect our long-term care services and support and strengthen consumer protections so Mainers can stay in their own homes and communities as they age.

I hope our representatives will reach across the aisle and work together to find solutions that make sense now and for the future. I encourage all Mainers to play an active role in watching how things unfold in the months and years ahead and making sure their voices are heard throughout.

South Portland GOP thanks candidates

Last week Republican candidates from South Port-land gallantly fought to renew hope, re-establish trust, reunite, and reintroduce fellow Residents of South Port-land to the promise of a brighter tomorrow. Candidates faced the daunting task of trying to change an environ-ment that has been less than willing to concede to dif-ferent views or ideas. Understanding the overwhelming odds, our Republican candidates held nothing back; they ran clean, positive campaigns, which we all can be proud of. I am encouraged and thankful to have been a witness to the amount of teamwork displayed between the individual campaigns, candidates, supporters and

I personally would like to recognize our 2012 Re-publican heroes and thank them for their courageous efforts: Michael Darren Wallace in state Senate District 7, Thomas George Sarbanis in House District 122 and House District 124 candidate Kevin Battle.

Election 2012 produced some unexpected resultsThis was my son Bob-

by’s first presidential elec-tion. The first time I voted for president, Richard Nix-on soundly trounced the recently deceased George McGovern. By that I mean McGovern passed away recently, not shortly be-fore running for president, although he could hardly have done worse if he had been dead.

Ironically, McGovern, so humiliated in the elec-tion, saw his reputation as a public servant grow over the years, while the triumphant Nixon’s fall from grace would have given Felix Baumgartner a run for his money.

Was this election as engaging for Bobby and his contemporaries? It’s apples and oranges in some ways. The culture was so different back then. We weren’t in the grip of a 24-hour news cycle. The Internet hadn’t turned every idiot with a computer into a potential pun-dit. The media had only begun the process of monetiz-ing controversy at the expense of journalistic integrity. Party hacks were tentatively dipping their toes into the ooze of dirty tricks that have since become a fixture of

political campaigns.Not that everything was different in 1972. We were

deeply divided over seemingly irreconcilable visions of the future. The incumbent president was in the process of extricating us from an expensive, unwinnable war without making the country look weak. The challenger made a number of public relations gaffes early that severely damaged his credibility.

Bob exercised the franchise differently than I did all those years ago. He used an absentee ballot, which may be the wave of the future. My wife took similar advantage of early voting, even though she goes to our polling place, Scarborough High School, every day as a classroom volunteer. Taking a ballot home allowed her to study the candidates and get on the record early in an election that meant a lot to her.

I’m not saying I took this election less seriously, but I did not vote early because I prefer to vote the Ameri-can Way. I flip through the election materials while I’m standing in line and then go with the answer that “feels right” when I’m standing in the booth. Don’t judge me. This country was built by people who had no idea what they were getting themselves into.

Bobby’s absentee voting was the price of attending a great school for him. He’s in Chicago because when he was applying for college, we encouraged him to find the best fit regardless of location, in much the same way my parents encouraged me, with a couple of wrinkles: I could apply to as many schools as I wanted, as long as

one of them was the University of Michigan, and I could go to the school that was the best fit for me, as long as it was named the University of Michigan. Absentee ballots never became necessary.

Another thing Bob did differently: asking his parents’ opinions. If there were people in my age group in 1972 that asked their parents what they thought of, well, any-thing, I did not travel in those circles. As baby boomers, we were far too busy telling our parents that everything they knew was wrong, saying “the streets belong to the people, man,” and asking them for more money. Never to inquire how they were voting and why.

Bobby, on the other hand, wanted to know how we viewed the three-way race for the U.S. Senate, and if we thought Scarborough really needed a new fire truck. I have no idea how he ended up voting. Maybe my generation has raised overly dependent children the way my parents raised rebellious ones. It felt good to be asked what we thought, though, as if we must have done something well as parents to have a teenage child who occasionally cares what we think.

Another thing or two occurred to me about the elec-tion. On Wednesday, Bobby texted us to say he was pretty proud of America right about then. I’m sure he meant it in a partisan way, but my reaction when I read

When I went to bed on Election Day I was bummed out because, despite the fact that Presi-dent Obama and marriage equality had prevailed, I was under the impression that state Sen. Dick Woodbury had been unseated by a former Navy SEAL with the backing of tens of thousands of dollars of out of state money.

I woke up Wednes-day morning to discover that the Yarmouth vote had not come in when I went to bed. When Yarmouth was count-ed, we carried Wood-bury over the top to victory.

For the first time in my life, I won the Election Day lot-tery – everyone and everything I voted for won. Though other votes had more wide-ranging implications, I was most happy that my fellow District 11 voters had understood that there was no reason not to re-elect Dick Woodbury.

Challenger Chris Tyll waged an energetic and expensive campaign, plastering the area with his plywood signs and even getting U.S. Sen. Olym-pia Snowe to do a voice-over for him. I guess that’s what galled me most. Snowe claims she is leaving the U.S. Senate because of partisan grid-lock and says she plans to support candidates who will work in a bipartisan way to solve problems. But that, Sen. Snowe, is Dick Woodbury.

The local pundits had expected the insurgent Tyll to upset the incumbent Woodbury, but Tyll was not the biggest loser on Nov. 6.

Charlie Summers would be a contender for that title, losing his fourth campaign for statewide of-fice. It should be pretty clear to Summers at this point that Maine people don’t want him represent-ing them in Washington. Summers will also lose his job as secretary of state now that Democrats

have retaken control of both houses of the Legis-lature.

In terms of historic relevance, the biggest los-ers last Tuesday were the religious self-righteous who opposed gay marriage. Now that Maine has become the first state in the nation to embrace gay marriage by popular referendum, history will understand anti-gay Christians as opponents of civil rights.

In terms of sheer dollars wasted, the biggest losers were the nefarious Republican Super PACs and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which spent millions of dollars on the U.S. Senate race trying to defeat Angus King. I assume heads will roll at the U.S. Chamber unless their corporate donors are as stupid as their policy advisers.

The title of Biggest Loser 2012, however, goes to Gov. Paul LePage. This election was a referen-dum on his two years of loud-mouthed leadership. Mainers put Democrats back in charge because we are sick and tired of LePage, his my-way-or-the-highway style and his blame-the-victim public policy agenda. Not only will LePage now have to contend with a Legislature controlled by the very Democrats he insulted, he will also lose his conservative allies in the constitutional offices. Summers will be out as secretary of state, Bruce Poliquin will be sent packing as treasurer and William Schneider will be dumped as attorney general.

Since there is no chance LePage will be re-elected in 2014, if he plans to accomplish any-thing at all while still in office he is going to have to wake up to the fact that governing is the art of compromise. It is a collaborative endeavor, not a cage fight. If Paul LePage is smart, and there has been precious little evidence of that to date, he will take his own advice and start kissing some butt.

The biggest loserThe View From Awayfrom previous page

it was not about winners and losers. My pride, and I was pretty proud myself, was about the system we have and the energy so many people put into this election. It’s still early, people are still in the gloating and pouting stage, which is to be expected, if not welcomed.

What impressed me about the election, as chaotic and ugly as it seemed at times, was how many people were actively engaged. There are a lot of smart and caring people in this country. It is easy to forget that when we put on our daily blinders. If this election served no other purpose, it showed how many people who, regardless of political affiliation, care enough about this country’s welfare to get involved. I’m grateful that my son got to feel that during his first election. With luck, it will inform his commitment to the process in the future.

So, if you were out stumping for Mitt Romney, thank you.

If you campaigned for President Obama, thank you.If you were on a phone bank for a candidate, thank

you.If you volunteered to help run a polling place, thank

you.If you were manning a table for a greener Maine, or

to raise money for an organization, thank you.Finally, even though I hated every one of them, if

you were one of the people who put signs on every conceivable square foot of roadside, thank you. Thank you even more for getting rid of them, but thank you for taking part in the process. You were helping to show the best of us.

Jason R. Fowler, 31: an abiding passion for racingSCARBOROUGH — Jason R. Fowler,

31, of Scarborough, died Nov.9 in Gorham as a result of an automobile accident. He was born in Portland, a son of Richard J. and Wendy L. Fowler.

He grew up on the family farm on

member with driver Mike Rowe in 2009. Together, they won that year’s Pro Series Championship.

Fowler will be remembered for his per-sonality, his “gift of gab,” his warm smile and his never-ending passion for racing. He dreamed of putting back on his fire suit and returning as a driver.

He was predeceased in 2001 by an uncle who shared his love of racing, Ralph “Ricky” Fowler.

Survivors include his parents, of Scarborough; a brother, Michael J. Fowler, of Gorham; maternal grandparents Kathy and Walter Suchareski of Punta Gorda, Fla.; paternal aunts and uncles, Cindy and Paul Webber, of Gorham, Jennie Hun-newell, of Casco, Rose and Lenny Law-rence, of Portland, Mary Lou Napolitano, of Portland, Gloria and Keith Larsen of Colorado, and Lynda and Mike Johnson, of Scarborough; a maternal aunt, Shelly Caselden, of Florida; a maternal uncle, Randy Waycotte, of Old Orchard; and several cousins.

Funeral services were held Nov. 14 at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church in Scarborough. The Rev. Philip Shearman officiated the service. Interment followed at Black Point Cemetery, Scarborough.

Those desiring may make donations to Save Speed for the Track, c/o Zoe Landry, 52 Heath St., Oakland, ME 04963.

Pleasant Hill Road in Scarborough. He attended local schools and graduated in 1999 from Scarborough High School. As a young man he helped out with the family business, Pleasant Hill Gardens.

Fowler’s lifelong passion with auto rac-ing began as a child. His family was deep-ly involved in auto racing at Beech Ridge Speedway. At age 11, he began racing in a go-kart series. His mother and father were very supportive of all of his activities, but especially proud of his accomplishments on the track. Over the next few years, the family traveled to competitions in Maine

and throughout New England.Fowler advanced to become a driver in

the Super Sportsman Series, racing late-model cars. He was named the Most Out-standing New Driver in 1998 and won the championship in 1999. In 2000, he moved up to the Pro Series winning Rookie of the Year in 2000.

In 2001, Fowler was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, which plagued him and his family over the next 11 years. He was unable to drive competitively after the diagnosis. After Fowler had taken time off from racing, he returned as a crew

tion was submitted to the Senate by the Obama Administration almost 10 months ago. His nomination was approved with a voice vote by the Senate Judiciary Com-mittee more than eight months ago. In short, there is simply no good reason for his nomination to remain on the Execu-tive Calendar.”

Sen.-elect Angus King, the indepen-dent who will replace Snowe in January, Thursday added his support for a quick vote and Kayatta’s confirmation.

“I’d be honored to vote for him, but for the country’s sake, I hope it happens next week,” King said in telephone interview.

The Senate Majority Office did not re-spond to inquiries about when and if judi-

cial confirmation votes will be scheduled.The federal appeals court in Boston is

one legal rung below the U.S. Supreme Court. Kayatta would replace Judge Ker-mit Lipez, a South Portland resident who is taking senior judicial status.

Kayatta’s confirmation vote in the full Senate was delayed by an election-year maneuver known as the “Thurmond Rule” or the “Leahy Rule,” depending on which party’s nominations it affects.

The maneuver was first attributed to the late Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C. Thurmond effectively blocked President Lyndon Johnson’s 1968 nomination of Abe Fortas to the U.S. Supreme Court. Sen. Pat Leahy, D-Vt., has also used filibusters in presidential election years to block confirmation votes.

Confirmation votes for Kayatta and at

least four other nominees to the federal bench have been held up since early sum-mer.

Sens. Snowe and Collins vowed in July to join Democrats in an effort to end fili-busters, but the 60 votes necessary to end the debate did not materialize. Following that, Reid decided against scheduling more confirmation votes.

Kayatta has declined comment during the confirmation process, but Snowe and Collins have effusively supported him, urging a confirmation vote and empha-sizing the need to fill the open seat on the six-seat circuit court that hears cases from Maine, New Hampshire, Massa-chusetts, Rhode Island and Puerto Rico.

“Bill has a stellar record, the highest (American Bar Association) rating, the full support of Maine’s Republican Sen-

ate delegation,” Collins wrote to Reid and McConnell. “There should be no reason to delay a Senate vote on his nomination any further.”

King criticized the maneuvering that led to the floor-vote delay.

“It is a perfect example of what is wrong with Congress,” he said, adding he thinks all presidential nominations should receive up or down votes within 90 days unless there are extenuating cir-cumstances.

“This is a deterrent to good people putting themselves forward,” the senator-elect said. “Bill Kayatta’s life has been on hold for a year.”

SMCC hoops teams off to hot startBy Michael Hoffer

Another basketball season is un-derway at Southern Maine Com-munity College and while there have been some challenges, both Seawolves teams have impressed in the early going.

OvercomingOn the eve on this season, the

women’s program was thrown for a loop when last year’s success-ful and popular coach, Kendra Reichert, had to step down sud-denly as her husband took a job out of state.

After a 15-12 campaign in 2011-12 and with several key players returning, the Seawolves had high hopes, but suddenly found themselves without a coach.

Enter Sabrina Best.A former Seawolves player

and assistant for the past two seasons, Best convinced SMCC men’s coach and athletic director Matt Richards that she was the optimal fit.

“I was told on Oct. 2 (the day after first practice) that (Kendra leaving) was a possibility,” Rich-ards said. “The next day I met with Sabrina. The next day we found out it was going to happen, so we made the decision to pro-mote her to head coach. Sabrina’s commitment level to the program was a selling point for me. She has passion for Seawolves basketball as a former player and a member of the staff. She’s done a nice job embracing the situation. It’s a very mature approach to a difficult situation.”

“It’s gone a lot smoother than a lot of people imagined,” Best said. “It helped that I knew the girls, I knew the style of SMCC and who we play. That part was easy. That’s usually a struggle for a new coach coming in. I went from not having to be at practice until 15 minutes before to worrying about progress reports and if girls were in class. That’s the biggest challenge.”

The Seawolves have responded amazingly well to the sudden change, winning five of their first six games.

SMCC earned a big dose of confidence in the opener, a 70-66 win over the University of New Brunswick in the Can-Am tour-nament.

“It was huge for the girls to get off to a good start,” said Best. “It was such a big confidence boost. The first game was really close. We were down one late and I had to burn my last timeout. I told them I couldn’t stop play anymore and they had to do it. They surprised me. They stuck to the gameplan and came out of

Locals run at New EnglandsBy Michael Hoffer

The 2012 cross country season came to a close Satur-day at Twin Brook Recreation Center in Cumberland when the best runners from Fore-caster Country joined the very best from the region in the New England championships.

Class B state champion Cape Elizabeth and perennial Class A power Scarborough both competed as teams in the boys' race, where the Capers came in 22nd and the Red Storm 27th (Bishop Hendrick-en of Rhode Island was first).

Junior Liam Simpson led the Capers by finishing 17th for scoring purposes, complet-ing the 5-kilometer course in 17 minutes, 6.18 seconds. Other Cape Elizabeth scor-ers were junior Peter Doane (70th, 17:56.67), junior Will Britton (109th, 18:22.66), sophomore Kyle Kennedy

(149th, 18:47.44) and junior Julian Pelzer (162nd, 18:59.92).

it strong.”Wins over Dalhousie (71-26)

and Unity College (77-25) fol-lowed. After a 101-43 setback to Community College of Rhode Island, the Seawolves bounced back to defeat Navy Prep (83-39). Monday afternoon, SMCC opened on a 24-4 run and rolled to a 63-19 triumph at Hampshire College to improve to 5-1.

“We’ve come out stronger than everyone thought,” Best said.

“This is the first year our num-bers are solid. It’s the first time we have more post players than guards. We have 13 players and seven are post players.”

“The girls are playing hard and that’s the sign of a good coach,” Richards added.

In the early going, SMCC has seen several players step up, led by junior Esther Palmieri, who’s served as a leader on and off the floor. Palmieri scored 10 points

against both Dalhousie and Unity and went off for 17 points (and nine assists) against Hampshire College.

“Esther was here with (former coach) Becky (Roak), when we went to Nationals, was here with Kendra and is now here with me,” said Best. “She’s an angel. She’s definitely our go-to player.”

Despite its post dominance, the Seawolves have made a living from downtown.

“Having seven post players, you’d think our strength would be our inside game, but our 3-point shooting has been phenomenal,” said Best. “We’re still trying to figure out who works well togeth-er. Our returners and newcomers have hit big 3s. Our guards are amazing. Rogetta Donalson (18 points versus New Brunswick, 22 points in the loss to CCRI) is the type of girl you can put the ball

in her hands and something will happen. She can make great drives to the basket, hit big 3s and make crazy passes no one will expect. Emily Bard (25 points against Navy Prep and 13 points versus Dalhousie) is a shooter. I’m hoping she’s more consistent this year. Esther will hit 3s. Tiana Burton (nine points, five assists, three steals versus Unity) took a year off, but she’s back. She’s a true point guard. Esther can handle the role, but I like her as a shooter.”

There are several other players to watch as well.

“Alicia Hoyt (18 points, 13 rebounds in the opener) is out right now with a shoulder injury, but she’s coming back,” said Best. “She eats up the inside game. Maria Veino (15 points against Hampshire College) is a consistent player. You can expect eight points, eight rebounds from her. She gives it her all. Nyalieb Deng (16 points versus Navy Prep and 10 points against Unity) will contribute.”

While the Seawolves have a lot of tests to come and will face an abundance of challengers in the conference, Best and the players have their sights set high.

“I could see this team winning the Yan-kee Conference,” Best said. “I think our biggest competition will be Central Maine. It’s a great rivalry. They have great return-ers. We play completely different styles. When we play, it will be very interesting to see who comes out on top. We have the personnel to matchup well.

“We knew from Day One that champi-onship teams are made by the way they overcome adversity. We started with a huge bump in the road and we’ve overcome very well. Our goal is to win the conference and go to Nationals. It’s not an unrealistic goal, especially with the start we’ve had. I’m a very positive person and with our staff be-ing positive, it’s made for an easy transition. We’ll make the best out of it.”

New lookOn the men’s side, Richards has eight

players back from a young squad which went 12-18 in 2011-12.

So far, so good for the Seawolves in 2012-13. They opened with victories over St. Thomas (81-60), Dalhousie (92-46) and Unity (89-61) before dropping a hard-fought 71-65 decision to Berkeley College of New Jersey. SMCC bounced back to defeat Navy Prep (64-45), then downed Bridgton Academy (77-70), Northern Maine CC (111-64) and Hampshire College (104-49) to improve to 7-1.

“We’ve played some really good basket-ball so far,” Richards said. “We increase our competitiveness every day. This is the most athletic and defensively sound team I’ve ever coached here. In years past, we’d win some tight games where maybe the other team had more talent but we won because I used some gimmicks. We don’t have to do that this year. We have fullcourt or halfcourt pressure defense. We don’t let you catch the ball easily and I have 12 kids who can do that. We’ve been wearing teams down in the second half. It’s been fun to watch.”

The addition of point guard Jose Nouch-anthavong has really helped the cause. Nouchanthavong had 10 points versus Dahousie, a team-high 14 against Bridg-ton Academy and 10 assists and six steals against NMCC.

“Jose has been phenomenal,” Richards said. “He spent last year getting back to where he should be academically. I have to give him credit. He did a good job un-derstanding the importance of academics. Now he’s on the floor and he’s much more determined. Having to sit out creates that.”

One of the team’s key additions has been Jon Amabile, last seen leading Deering to the 2012 Class A state championship. Amabile had a team-high 15 points in the win over Unity, added 12 versus Navy Prep, 13 against Bridgton Academy and 15 in the win over Hampshire College.

“Jon has been a nice addition,” said Rich-ards. “He’s done a nice job adjusting to this level. He’s getting better.”

The most notable change this season has been SMCC’s sudden change from a bombs-away 3-point shooting squad to one that can get the job done closer to the rim.

“You’ll laugh, but I’d like us to shoot the

3-ball better,” said Richards, mindful of the program’s reputation. “My alumni are having a tough time watching the games because they’re not used to us struggling shooting the 3. We shoot well, just not on 3-pointers. It’s a far cry from three years ago, when we were averaging 40 3-point shots per game. Now, we only have 15 a game. I think we have shooters and it will get better. Chance Baldino (13 points against Northern Maine CC) is a great shooter and Jon’s history says he’s a great shooter. Now, it’s not a mainstay of our offense.

“I’ve gotten phenomenal inside play from Nate Dow (15 points versus Dalhousie) and Aubrey Lampkins (17 points in the opener). Nate’s matured a lot and Aubrey has come in and given us a threat inside. Mike Harmon (11 points, four rebounds versus Bridgton Academy and 13 versus Hampshire College), from Portland, is a man-child. He’s the glue of our team. He plays bigger, stronger and faster than any kid at his position, yet he’s 6-foot-1. He’s been a joy to coach. I think Alex Hartford (10 points in the win over Dalhousie and 10 points versus Berkeley), from Lake Region,

will surprise a lot of people. We’ve simpli-fied his duties. He’s been a nice starting forward for us. We’ve mixed the new guys and returners. It’s been a nice blend so far.”

Emmanuel Donalson (17 points against St. Thomas, 17 in the loss to Berkeley, 13 versus NMCC and 12 against Hampshire College) and Shon Powell (13 points versus Navy Prep) are other key contributors.

SMCC will have few easy nights in con-ference, where several teams will look to prevent the Seawolves from making a run to the top.

“I think the College of St. Joe’s will be very good,” Richards said. “(New Hamp-shire Technical Institute) is going to be very strong again. They return two all-Conference players. Eastern Maine has a brand new team, but I hear they’re talented. CMCC has a lot of kids. They’ll be com-petitive down the stretch.

“I think we can make a run. I didn’t know what to expect in the preseason, but the guys have given me optimism. We have to stay healthy, avoid academic issues and get lucky. There are a lot of factors you can’t control that will dictate a team’s success. I think we have enough of the pieces to be there, but the other intangibles have to happen.”Sports editor Michael Hoffer can be reached at mhoffer@

Oratorio Chorale opens its seasonBy Scott Andrews

By mid-November, nearly every perform-ing arts organization in southern Maine has opened its fall-winter-spring season. One of the last to start is the Mid-Coast-based Oratorio Chorale, which has a pair of concerts coming up Saturday and Sunday in Topsham and Yarmouth. Music director Peter Frewen has selected works by Franz Schubert and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The Portland Symphony Orchestra will again play under the baton of a guest con-ductor this Sunday. The visiting maestro will be Timothy Myers, who normally helms the North Carolina Opera. Another visiting artist will be longtime Canadian Brass hornist Jeff Nelsen.

Veteran bluesman John Hammond will visit Portland’s One Longfellow Square on Saturday. Hammond will be appearing a few days past his 70th birthday celebra-tion, but more importantly, this year he’s celebrating his 50th year as a professional musician.

Oratorio ChoraleThe Oratorio Chorale opens its 39th

season this weekend with performances in Topsham and Yarmouth, accompanied by instrumentalists from the Maine Chamber Ensemble.

The Oratorio Chorale is an independent auditioned ensemble numbering between 35 and 40 singers that has been prominent in the Mid-Coast and southern Maine since 1974. Their repertoire ranges from Baroque to contemporary, and they produce their own three-concert season and frequently collaborate with orchestras and other musi-cal entities.

Music director Peter Frewen, who has led the group since 1975, has selected a program featuring pieces by Franz Schubert and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart that illustrate the combined effects of col-ors of sound and passionate expression.

Schubert’s Mass in E Flat was written in 1828, only a year before the composer’s death, and Frewen notes its enormous range. Frewen comments that the work is characterized by “large shapes of sound, achieving powerful, intense climaxes and satisfying every discerning aesthetic and emotive response.”

Three smaller works by Mozart round out the program. “Sanctus Maria” and “Mi-sericordia Domini” reflect the Latin tradi-tion of the Catholic Church, while “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” is one of Mozart’s best-known short instrumental essays.

This concert will be performed twice this weekend: at Orion Performing Arts Center (Mt. Ararat Middle School) in Topsham at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 17 and Sacred Heart Church in Yarmouth at 3 p.m. Nov. 18. Call 798-7985.

John HammondJohn Hammond, a veteran bluesman who

is celebrating a pair of life’s landmarks in 2012, will be the featured artist this Satur-day at One Longfellow Square.

Landmarks of life? For starters, Ham-mond turned 70 years old on Tuesday. But more significantly, 2012 marks a half-century as a professional musician. Also this year Hammond was inducted into the New York Blues Hall of Fame, an honor which follows last year’s National Blues Hall of Fame.

Born in New York City into a musical

Veteran bluesman John Hammond will be appearing at One Longfellow Square in Portland on Saturday, Nov. 17. This year marks Hammond’s 50th anniversary as a professional musician.

family, Hammond started playing guitar and singing in high school. By 1962 – not yet 20 years old – he was living in Green-wich Village, playing for paychecks and hanging out and performing with some of the leading lights of that formative and profoundly influential musical scene: Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton and Duane Allman. Hammond formed his own group, and for a brief period in the 1960s, both Clapton and Hendrix were band mates.

Although Hammond never enjoyed the immense popular fame achieved by some of his musical confederates, he has per-sisted in his art. Among his achievement are 33 albums, which stretch from the days of the 33 rpm LP vinyl record into today’s digital download era. Hammond show no signs of slowing down: Seven of his albums date from after 2000 and the most recent, “Rough & Tough,” was released three years ago. It garnered a Grammy nomination for Best Blues Album.

Hammond plays a National Reso-Phonic guitar, which was designed for blues gui-tarists in the 1930s. It is characterized by a metallic cone that projects and naturally amplifies the sound. Strings are plucked with finger picks and the frequencies (notes) are defined by sliding a steel cylin-der across the neck, rather than by pressing the strings against frets.

(Purely by happenstance, this week marks the second consecutive Maine per-formance by an artist whose specialty is the acoustic resonator guitar. On Saturday, Jerry Douglas performed in Westbrook.)

Catch John Hammond at One Longfellow Square, corner of State and Congress in Portland, at 8 p.m. Nov. 17. Call 761-1757.

Portland Symphony OrchestraTwo visiting artists headline this Sun-

day’s Portland Symphony Orchestra concert, which features major works by Richard Strauss and Igor Stravinsky.

On the podium, guest maestro Timothy Myers will conduct the orchestra. My-ers, who helms North Carolina Opera, is a friend and associate of PSO music director Robert Moody, who is a native Carolinian and also leads a symphony in Winston-Salem. Myers is known as a tech-

nically precise conductor who also enjoys a rapidly growing reputation as one of the youngest American maestros to emerge upon the national music scene.

The second guest will be virtuoso Jeff Nelsen, who will do the solo honors in Strauss’ Horn Concerto No. 1. For more than two decades Nelsen has forged a career in both symphonic and popular set-tings. He is best known as the hornist with the Canadian Brass, but he’s also had solo engagements with major symphony orches-tras across his native land and the U.S. On the popular side, he’s played in the pit for two Broadway shows.

The first two pieces on the program are by Carl Maria von Weber and Claude De-bussy. The former was the quintessential German Romantic artist, while the latter was the epitome of French musical impres-sionism – a term that the composer himself detested.

The Strauss concerto, which dates from

1883, follows. PSO program annotator Mark Rohr notes that the concerto was written by the son of a virtuoso horn player, commenting that “Richard Strauss’ works show both a love for the instrument and a canny awareness of its capabilities.”

The second half of the concert will be devoted to a single major 20th-century work, the orchestral suite from Stravinsky’s “The Firebird,” a landmark ballet that was introduced in Paris in 1910. The suite, which was assembled and premiered 35 years after the ballet score, is Stravinsky’s most popular symphonic work. Its brash colors and dynamic rhythms are both challenging and pleasing, and the finale is particularly well loved. “The celebrated closing pages are some of the most thrilling music ever written,” explains Rohr.

A tasty twist on turkey leftoversWhen you're planning your big turkey

dinner, the one thing you want to be sure to do is get a turkey big enough for some delicious leftovers. While turkey sand-wiches are good, there's a lot more you can do with this tasty bird.

Breakfast or Brunch - Wake the family up to a hearty breakfast casserole that's a creamy blend of turkey, sour cream, cream of chicken soup, cheese and hash browns. It has a crunchy topping with a surprise ingredient; and you can finish it off with a dollop of fresh and flavorful Wholly Guacamole. Make it ahead of time so all you have to do is pop it into the oven in the morning.

Quick Turkey TidbitsNeed some more inspiration for turkey

leftovers? Try one of these easy snack ideas:

Turkey nachos - Shredded turkey, peppers, onions, black olives and cheese on lime-flavored nacho chips. Top with chunky guac, salsa or sour cream.

Turkey bites - Top your favorite crackers with a little turkey and a slice of pepper Jack cheese. Microwave until

LINDA PUYEARForget about the same old turkey leftovers! Try this breakfast casserole and start a new tradition.

“Give a gift with meaning this holiday season!”

Holiday gifts that keep on givingIf you’re looking for something differ-

ent to give as a holiday gift this year, you might want to consider a gift that’s more than just “stuff.” Many individuals and families are looking for alternate giving ideas that help people in need. And with one in eight people going to sleep hungry every night worldwide, there is plenty of need to be met.

One way you can give a gift that makes a life-changing difference is to shop via Heifer International, a nonprofit humanitar-ian organization dedicated to ending hunger and caring for the Earth. Heifer currently provides livestock, trees, seeds and training in environmentally sound agriculture prac-tices to families in more than 40 countries, including the United States. Since 1944, Heifer has helped more than 15.5 million smallholder farmer families in more than 125 countries move toward greater self-reliance.

Heifer is drawing attention to the need and the opportunity to help through their “AltGift” and “NOW” campaigns, which, respectively, encourage honoring loved ones by giving alternative gifts, as well as showcasing the powerful success stories of women and families who can now improve their nutrition, generate income, and Pass On the Gift to others in their communities.

Here are some exciting ways you and your family can give an alternative gift that will help other families in need:

• Shop the Gift Catalog at www.heifer.

GEOFF OLIVER BUGBEE

org. Donate a flock of chicks, a rabbit, a goat, a water buffalo or maybe even a heifer to a family somewhere in the world. Your gift will improve their nutrition and help them generate income in sustainable ways.

• Contribute to one of Heifer’s Special Giving Opportunities. Participate in the Worldbuilders Match Challenge; become a Friend of Heifer to make a monthly gift; or donate to the Disaster Rehabilitation Fund to provide resources that make long-term recovery from natural disasters possible.

• Fund a project. You and your family can choose a particular project and help fund the gifts of livestock, training for the com-munity and veterinary care needed to make the project successful.

• Join Team Heifer. Whether as a family or part of a faith or community group, you can team up with others to raise funds and help Heifer recipients Pass on the Gift, becoming donors themselves who help others in need.

• Honor someone with your gift. When you give a gift in someone’s name, they will receive an Honor Card to let them know about the special gift you’ve given.

When you give to others, making it pos-sible for them to lift themselves out of pov-erty and become self-reliant in a sustainable way, you are giving a life-altering gift that will have a positive ripple effect for years to come. Learn more about how you can receive the joy of giving at www.heifer.org.

Gymfrom page 1


known by its MOG acronym, was once the site of a company health club operated by Fairchild Semiconductor, and then by Saco Bay Physical Therapy.

Now co-owned by Chris Pribish and Jaclyn Morrill-Chadbourne, with Bill Mc-Cormick as a principal partner, the gym programs are tailored to help members become and stay fit while confronting chronic health conditions like cardiovas-cular disease, diabetes and orthopedic and musculoskeletal issues.

The gym is open to the public, too, but McCormick and former Navy SEAL Chris Tyll of North Yarmouth have made MOG a part of the Portland Veterans Network, es-tablished by the Greater Portland Regional Chamber. Tyll, who recently ran unsuccess-fully for the state Senate in District 11, is chairman of the Portland Veterans Network.

Tyll and McCormick said they want to attract veterans of all ages to the gym as a way for veterans like Bingley, 74, and Gouzie, 90, who are long past their days of service, to stay fit, socialize and get the best

of recommended physician care.Through this Saturday, the gym is waiv-

ing its $49 enrollment fee and discounting membership fees 15 percent for active and retired military personnel.

Morrill-Chadbourne said all new mem-bers receive thorough screenings before they exercise and therapy programs are tailored for the best results. Members are re-evaluated quarterly.

The approach is unique, she said, merg-ing disciplines while encouraging workout and fitness in individual and group settings as a way to reduce future medical expenses.

“Physical therapists can be the center of this model,” Morrill-Chadbourne said.

Tyll said Pribish and Morrill-Chadbourne are adept at understanding veterans’ needs and providing guidance and encourage-ment.

“Chris never served, but he can put vet-erans in their comfort zone. He is going to be your enemy at about minute 40 of your workout, but the next day, you are going to thank him,” Tyll said. “It is going to help anybody re-acclimate, no matter if they were injured or not.”

Bingley served in the Navy from 1959 to 1962, much of his duty was in an underwa-

ter demolitions team preceding the estab-lishment of the Navy SEALs. In civilian life, he was a trial lawyer, including work with the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division.

His wife, Marsha Bingley, said he stayed active after the service, mostly jogging and swimming. But Parkinson’s disease affects the central nervous system, causing mus-cular tremors and difficulty walking; John Bingley is still able to swim and his MOG workouts involve movements designed to enhance communication between his brain and muscles.

“It is a problem, but it is not insurmount-able,” he said.

From his days as the champion wrestler on his submarine in World War II until his late wife, Grace, became ill, Gouzie stayed active and fit. He cared for his wife as her health declined; they were married 61 years when she died in March.

“’I do’ means I do,” Gouzie said.Gouzie has spinal stenosis, and lost 50

pounds as he cared for his wife. He was referred to MOG and saw quick results.

“I was starting to walk like an old man. I didn’t like that,” he said.

His workouts include 15-minute bike

rides, leg stretches, and pulling exercises to rebuild his upper body. On Monday, his daughter, Connie Libby, sat and watched him work with trainer Matt Kohler.

“I’m just so happy. He is getting stronger and he has made friends,” Libby said.

Tyll said the social aspect also has ben-efits for veterans.

“The stories swapped in the locker room may be a part of the healing process,” he said.

Tyll and McCormick said the MOG approach works with anyone confronting chronic health issues, and McCormick hopes insurance companies and physicians will take notice of tangible results.

Charity Hirst, director of marketing at the gym, said staff is creating more detailed instruction pads for physicians to give patients who need exercise and physical therapy.

“The icebreaker is we spend so much time with people in the beginning, devel-oping trust and camaraderie,” McCormick said.David Harry can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or dharry@

to the polls.Aranson said support for Scarborough

husband-and-wife candidates Charlie Sum-mers, running for the U.S. Senate, and Ruth Summers, running for the state Senate, attracted Republican voters, even though Ruth Summers was not running in a Senate district also covered by House District 127.

Aranson, who last campaigned for Cumberland County district attorney two

decades ago, said he might have created a better Internet presence for his candidacy.

“I probably would have done a website,” he said.

Volk, who maintains a Facebook page, said it was hard to determine exactly what could have provided the winning edge.

“Who knows, standing out on the corner waving street signs could have made the difference,” she said.

Justice said the additional votes and nar-rowed margin found in the state-certified re-sults were attributed to some totals that did

not carry over on a spreadsheet and state tabulation of absentee and overseas ballots.

The recount was one of a dozen being conducted this week in state legislative races.

But Scarborough Democrat Jean-Marie Caterina decided last weekend she would not seek a recount after losing the House District 128 race to incumbent Republican Rep. Heather Sirocki.

Unofficial results showed Sirocki win-ning 3,029 to 2,913. Caterina conceded the race in a letter while thanking her support-

ers and extending best wishes to Sirocki in the upcoming legislative term.

Volk said she looks forward to the new term and input from her constituency.

“I’m just looking forward to representing the people of Scarborough. I don’t have an agenda, my job is to represent citizens in my district,” she said.David Harry can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 110 or dharry@

answers and follow up with his ‘student.’“David is also called upon to speak to

community groups explaining the ABC’s of Medicare as a valued member of SMAA’s Medicare Team, devoting many hours of his time to accomplish this high-level work.”

Mary Hadlock, Medicare Volunteer Coordinator of SMAA, shared Eileen’s deep appreciation and respect for Smith’s

significant efforts: “Just today we got an e-mail about one of David’s seminars, which said, ‘Nice work shedding absolute clarity on one of the most complicated and intricate things we will do in life.’”

As if these two major commitments weren’t enough, Smith has also found time to join the Rotary Club of Portland, an organization that he said “does very good work.”

In just five short years, this man with a common name, but an uncommon dedi-cation to service, has made an extraor-dinary impact on the lives of countless people in Portland and beyond.


‘3-strikes’from page 1

Council approves $350K for Robinson Woods II

The ordinance requires rental property owners to adhere to several new regulations and go through a permitting process for leases of less than 30 days.

Permits will only be granted after an in-spection by a town code officer determines the rental has adequate fire extinguishers, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, proof of sanitary waste disposal, appropri-ate exits and evacuation plans.

It also restricts the number of tenants to no more than two per bedroom and does not allow more than eight tenants in one prop-erty at any time on lots less than 30,000 square feet.

Applicants will also have to provide a de-scription of how parking will be provided at the property and include a detailed renter’s agreement that lists emergency contact information, maximum number of guests allowed and a copy of the town’s miscel-

laneous offenses ordinance.The three-strikes rule gives the town

the ability to revoke permits for a year if a rental property has more than three substan-tiated complaints reported to the police or the code enforcement officer in a three-year period. Property owners can obtain a new permit after the year of suspension.

Complaints to police will be substanti-ated by the code enforcement officer and can be appealed to the Zoning Board by the property owner.

Sandy Dunham, who owns a rental property on Becky’s Cove, said she still has some reservations about the ordinance, but overall, thinks it will improve the situation.

“I’m not too overly enthusiastic about filling out the forms and paying a fee, but I do support some changes to the ordinance on subletting,” she said. “Hopefully it will improve the issues and problems on Law-son Road,” referring to the neighborhood where many of the complaints originated.

The ordinance continued to be debated

between councilors and the public at the meeting, but Council Chairwoman Sara Lennon, who was chairing her last meeting as a town councilor, pushed the discussion along, noting that the council was not going to redraft the ordinance at this stage.

“Not everyone is happy with this, which usually means it’s good,” Lennon said.

The council voted 5-1 to approve the new rules, with Councilor Caitlin Jordan opposed and Councilor Kathy Ray absent.

“You can make as many phone calls as you want to complain about ordinances we already have,” Jordan said, noting one of her issues with the rules is the provision that only allows one tenant per seven-day period. “It’s an overreaching fix that we’re putting on the town right now. ... It really is a restrictive thing on property rights.”

The ordinance will take effect Dec. 14 and the council will revisit the new rules in a year to assess their effectiveness.Will Graff can be reached at 781-3661 ext. 123 or [email protected]. Follow him on Twitter: @W_C_Graff.

CAPE ELIZABETH — The Town Council on Wednesday authorized giving the Cape Elizabeth Land Trust $350,000 for the purchase of the property along Shore Road known as Robinson Woods II.

Councilors also received an update on ongoing safety discussions from a local shooting range.

The total $1.2 million purchase of 63 wooded acres will join the existing 80-acre Robinson Woods, bought by the trust in 2003. Almost half the town’s share of the purchase, $150,000, will come from the town’s land-acquisition fund. The remaining $200,000 is part of a 20-year bond.

The only requirement stipulated by the council for the money is that the land trust must provide a public access easement across the property.

“It’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime watershed opportunities,” Councilor Jim Walsh said. “I really like that we’re doing this.”

The purchase will also complete part of the town’s expansive 1977 land preservation vision.

Additional funding for the woods came from individuals, private founda-tion grants, the trust board of directors and organizational land reserves.

This piece of land will secure one of three remaining pieces in the area,

leaving only about a quarter of a mile that is not permanently protected.

In other business, Mark Mayone, President of the Spurwink Rod & Gun Club, provided an update to the council on mediation with residential neigh-bors about safety and noise around the Sawyer Road shooting range.

Mayone said the club has hired a range technician to evaluate the safety of the range and will have a report that provides advice on modernizing the range in a few weeks.

“The way it’s going right now, we’re actually in a good place with our neighbors,” he said.

and get them the attention they need,” Rancourt said. “It could be as simple as where school buses run, or how often roads get plowed, or more complex, like where a bike path or new park is going.”

Rancourt said she considers recent measures banning smoking on beaches and municipal properties, and governing the use of pesticides on local properties, as “meaningful,” and said passage of an ordinance allowing fireworks was a dis-appointment because it has been flaunted too often.

Not everyone agrees with Rancourt’s stands and opinions, including current Town Council Chairman Ron Ahlquist. But he said being on the opposite sides of issues, especially on spending, does not indicate a lack of respect for her service.

“We never hitched horses on (spend-ing), so to so peak,” Ahlquist said. “I appreciate her willingness and dedication to serve the town, and I always had a high level of respect for her dad and her brother. We have always had a relation-ship where if we disagreed, it was on to the next issue.”

The continued lack of long-range planning or implementing established plans and studies frustrates Rancourt. At the heart of the issue is Route 1 and continued inaction on the Oak Hill area at the confluence of Route 114 and Black Point Road.

“From day one, the biggest thing I have heard is traffic on Route 1 is a gift and a curse,” she said. “It runs through town

and it does divide the town.”Councilors have established a new

committee to look at making the intersec-tion and area more pedestrian friendly, while a 2006 study of the area has never been implemented.

“It was extremely frustrating to me that we have not acted, it was a major fault of our council that we did not push to imple-ment it,” she said.

Rancourt also warned that councilors and planners need to prepare for a popu-lation increase of older residents.

“This change in population is not going to wait for us,” she said.

Rancourt is also not swearing off a return to elected office and said she will stay active on local committees.

“It all depends on if I get bored,” she said.
